The evidence in words
How much to take
1–2 tablespoons diluted in water before carbohydrate meals.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Apple Cider Vinegar; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Acetic acid slows gastric emptying and starch digestion, blunting the post-meal glucose spike.
Bottom line
A small, genuine post-meal glucose blunter, badly oversold for weight loss. Always dilute it; don't expect much.
How it is used
